with firefox you can also install extras to customize your browser (extensions and themes too)

Thanks Grentz, great link!!! :)

no problem, it is also always being updated so make sure to check it out every now and then

I'm downloading the top 5 themes now, will then move to the add ons. I really think this could end up giving IE a run for its money . . .

Firefox 9.0 Linux..

Mozilla here. Switched from IE a couple of years ago & never looked back. (Still have to use IE with my bank, however

)

They just released the GA version of Mozilla 1.7 a day or 2 ago. I installed it today and like it.

ya, mozilla is good but it is slower than firefox for some reason

I use internet explorer on my laptop because im too lazy to change and opera on my desktop (i cant wait to get linux running so i can run it on my ppc too...). Opera is a great browser just so you know. I voted for IE because i use my laptop more

I used to use opera, but got annoyed by the ads after I started using FireFox .9 (Opera is a great browser, I just can't seeing putting down the cash they want for it). I recently rebuilt my machine, and now I have IE6 and FireFox.

I use IE, yet I wish I didn't. Mozilla Firefox sometimes is odd when loading...ie; I click on a link a friend sends me in MSN Messenger and it sometimes doesn't load the browser. IE is basically HIJACKED by "www.search2web.com" I do various spyware/ad ware scans, yet they do not remove it.

That's not cool about your browser being hijacked. Have you tried Spy Sweeper or SpyBot 1.3?

06-20-04, 05:03 PM

Spybot yes, but not Spy Sweeper, I'll get that right now. Thanks. :)

It's pretty sad, Toolbars...POPUPS...FAVORITES LIST....ALL CHANGED! I think I know how I got this spyware....Msn Messenger Plus...I use it so much though =/

I feel for you, that's a nasty one. Spy Sweeper is very powerful, and you get one signature update with the trial. Just download and install the trial, update the sigs, and run it. It may take a couple of sweeps to get everything, but it it a tough app . . .

adaware is also very good, i use that and it seems to be the best, it almost never leaves anything behind
